The map
Shikarpur lies on the flat plain of upper Sindh, west of the Indus and not far from Sukkur. On the map the old town shows as a dense, irregular core, its lanes too tight and winding to follow any grid, surrounded by newer streets that spread out along the main roads. Irrigation canals cross the surrounding land in long, straight strokes.
For centuries Shikarpur was a trading and banking town on the routes toward Kandahar and Central Asia, sometimes described as a gateway to Khorasan. Its merchants built financial networks that reached far beyond Sindh, and carved wooden havelis from that period still stand in the old quarter. The covered Shahi Bazaar, running through the centre, remains the best-known part of the town.
A Shikarpur map poster captures the contrast between the knotted historic centre and the orderly canals of the countryside. It suits anyone with family roots in the town, whose merchant families spread across many countries, and anyone drawn to the street patterns of old trading cities.
A long covered market street runs through the heart of the old town, a continuous line on the map around which smaller lanes and courtyards are packed.
The historic core is a dense mesh of narrow, irregular lanes and closely set buildings, clearly different from the straighter streets of the newer outskirts.
Beyond the town, irrigation canals and their branches run in straight lines across flat farmland, adding a precise geometric frame to the map.

Why Shikarpur
For many families, Shikarpur is where the story starts, even if the family has long since moved on. A map of the old town and its lanes makes a quiet, lasting reminder of that origin, and a considered gift for relatives.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be personalised, for example with a family name and a year. Choose one of five styles, from Classic black & white and Noir to Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as HD files or a framed print.
